Lawyers

Grace was born and raised in Hawke’s Bay on a sheep and beef farm. She completed her LLB at Waikato University before returning home to Hawke’s Bay and starting her legal career at Willis Legal in 2018. She works primarily in residential conveyancing. She enjoys playing and coaching netball in her spare time as well heading to the gym, fishing and walking her Labrador, Bindi.

Bibby was admitted to the Bar in 2000 and after pursuing a career in Government procurement, largely in London, she recently turned to practising Family Law (with some mental health law) when a move to the Hawke’s Bay with her family precipitated a change in career. When not at work Bibby enjoys keeping up with her young family.

Having grown up in the Bay, Tara has returned after 5 years in Dunedin studying Law and Commerce at Otago University. During her time in Dunedin, Tara was a property law tutor and gained practical experience volunteering at Community Law Otago. In her summer breaks and whilst on exchange in Hungary, Tara also travelled extensively through Asia and Europe.

Tara began her legal career at Willis Legal in February 2021 and was admitted to the bar later that year. During her time at Willis she has worked closely with Emma Roberts, one of our property and commercial partners. Tara is enjoying her introduction to the legal profession and is excited for what is to come.
